Absolutely. Nonetheless we need to look at how we do this when 2/3 of the last Autumn conferences have passed poorly worded motions hijacked by factions, rather than proclaiming calls for fair and honest actions such as: nationalising Sussex/Thames Water; Rent Controls; meaningful jobs for NEETs.

And after the motion, all the Green leadership team, including all Green MPs, the Green Party Leader in the Senedd and those sitting in the House of Lords issued the following statement. (Some names were added after this was posted).

I guess they "allow people to connect with others" - whether that's teens or pensioners - or both! Great idea - say I who will benefit!

#Knutsford folk: our Councillors have no strategy & didn't even bother to turn up for this informative and very well-supported event Good to see fellow-Green Carol Goodwin, and of course Nigel Hennerley. #VoteGreen to protect our countryside & develop real, sustainable strategies in Cheshire East.

I'm not convinced by either of these but the echoes of the swastika on the second ones are very inappropriate. Use a different typeface or something if you must. And is this a GPEW green? All-in-all neither of these will help.

The prospect of a green-themed book club didn't excite me, until I saw the choices for our first book: Wilding by Isabella Tree This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein or How to Save the World for Free by Natalie Fee. Interested? Let us know!

Thanks for this link. It's good to see more of the background to the motion.

Does it matter if you vote Green and then another? I thought it takes only the 2nd votes of anyone who didn't vote for the top 2 - so if you vote Green and Labour and they are the top two, your 2nd vote doesn't get counted. It's only relevant if - heaven forbid - Geraldine's not in the top 2.

In addition to @zackpolanski.bsky.social 's comment, we're funded by donations from people like you and me, so we can't afford to campaign everywhere and have to focus on places where we might win and have enough volunteers to knock on doors/deliver leaflets. donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk

If you live in Congleton North Ward, have you voted today in your Town Council by-election? Your vote could get Chloe elected - and there's still time. VOTE GREEN!

If you want change - vote Green. If you want Tories in turquoise ties - well you have that option. Vote today if you have elections in your area!

I've just driven through Wales (bear with me, there's a connection). What a joy to meander safely along with the new speed limits looking after us all and saving petrol. Where there's a will, there's a way. Labour could do both "tomorrow", but chooses not to. #VoteGreen

I'd love to need nationally-binding selection rules. We struggle to find good, committed hard-working candidates to stand. Oh, yes, we are setting the bar high, but what's the point of being a Councillor if you don't want to bring real hope of real change? And that takes hard work and integrity.

I love being a Green when colleagues talk like this "There's 45% poverty among children in Hackney and [Labour] are messing around with attack vans with messages about the Greens. "People are thinking 'I can't feed my kids', they're not looking out the window at attack vans."

If you're not watching West Ham v Leeds, you are missing a treat... Leeds 0:2 up at 92 minutes. 2:2 at the end of normal time and extra time. Now penalties. Oh, and yes, West Ham's substitute goalie (aged 20) has just had to come on.

The vile antisemitic attack in Golders Green yesterday morning was absolutely horrific.
"Hate like this is becoming normalised. This sentiment was
echoed on all sides of the House when ministers gave MPs an
update in Parliament today, which we were pleased to hear. We
welcome the Government's commitment to replacing the
ambulances and maintaining a visible policing presence in
Jewish communities.
No one should feel unsafe because of who they are, their faith,
or where they live. We must stand firmly against antisemitism
in all its forms, wherever it appears.
We need to make sure all communities feel safe and
protected. Now is the time for solidarity with our Jewish
friends and family. We cannot allow fear or extremism to divide
us. Our communities are strengthened by our diversity and
when people are unable to live in peace then we are all much
worse off."

Is it really extreme to want to save the planet, and not persecute migrants and protesters? To want to bring more fairness and equality to our society, care for our vulnerable and struggling people, and protect our NHS and clean our rivers and seas? "Extremely good" perhaps. join.greenparty.org.uk

Greens make great Town Councillors, as Michelle Parsons is already showing in Middlewich. Soon voters will get another chance to Vote Green, for Suze Ward in Crewe South Ward's by-election. Get in touch if you'd like to help the campaign - or please donate! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/crewe-sout...

Some Councillors have less experience than this as Councillors. Not wanting to contradict you, but to remind you that we keep winning seats in by-elections! (And of course that as Greens we try to keep it honest.) Keep posting all your good stuff!

I talked last night on Green Party policy on alcohol and other drugs. 💔 @childrenssociety.bsky.social say maybe 46,000 children, as young as 6, are used by criminals in County Lines gangs. Heard personal stories of suffering, pain and death from addiction. 💔 Current policies are not working. 💚💚💚

Good to meet up with our Councillors, local campaigners, organisers and members old and new. Both John Knight - elected to Cheshire East Council in the by-election in November, and Michelle Parsons, newly elected to Middlewich Town Council were there - after winning to making hope normal again.

Are you feeling sickened and saddened by the senseless and murderous violence in the Middle East, and/or by the performative cruelty of Labour's policies towards migrants, including refugees? Don't keep scrolling - ACT! join.greenparty.org.uk and get involved in making hope normal again.

The last Borough Council by-election campaign I was involved in they got it right - finally - and it was hard (for them) to call with no polling data just rival campaign managers saying "we're winning". Turned out their recommendation to vote Green was right then, and is going to be right here too!

Are you mistaking the Greens for a party which has had the resources in the past identify their voters in every seat? G&D wasn't a Green target seat until now, so Greens probably knew nothing on day 1. I think you're right though about the numbers. Green assumptions about responses are pessimistic.

Amanda Iremonger @greenamanda.bsky.social · 19/02/2026
Remind anyone you know who lives in Cledford Ward, Middlewich to VOTE TODAY. They don't have to be green-leaning, just want Michelle as their Town Councillor in preference to some ReformUK candidate. (Don't worry if you don't know if they live in the right ward... just ask them anyway!)
